Is this an "expected" problem when changing keyboard layout so
that non-Latin-alphabet characters change position?
According to this
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/84/KB_Danish.svg
you'd have to use CTRL + ALT + 8 and CTRL + ALT + 9 to type
[ and ]. Is that what happens, and do those key presses then
function as [ and ] in Audacity?
Unless Audacity is the only program that has this issue, I doubt
it would be called a bug.

I think the man who runs:
http://theaudacitytopodcast.com/
may be on Mac so perhaps you could e-mail him from the link
on that page.
When you use Audacity preferences, it queries the sound
devices but this should not change the audio devices
unless you make such a change. The query should not cause
one of the devices to fail.
Does the same thing happen if you SHIFT + O to open the
"Select Output Device" dialogue, then click OK without
changing the device?
